Expectation

Expectation:
Denotes hope,
Incarnate scope.

Expectation:
Emerging life,
Free of strife.

Expectation:
Faithful wait,
Defying fate.

Expectation:
Defining truth,
Absent proof.

Expectation:
Abiding trust,
From dust to dust.

Expectation:
Salvation come;
To bring us home.

Our expectations cease
With liberations’s peace.
